This is not a hoax. It’s a cover up. Release the files!

'This is not a hoax': Epstein survivors speak out demanding files be released

Several Jeffrey Epstein survivors made a direct appeal to President Trump to take action as they demanded all the files be released.

The LEGACY Act would bring in more money from the estate tax and dedicate 15% of that revenue (~$400 million/year) to fund affordable, quality child care. Basically, my bill would tax trust fund kids to create a trust fund for ALL of America's kids. Let’s get this done. (2/2)

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govSep 2(source)

Our child care system is broken – it's WAY too expensive, too scarce, and providers can barely make ends meet. A protected, nationwide trust fund for child care could change that – and I have a plan. (1/2)

The “mission accomplished” problem haunting child care activists

State trust funds can come with an unexpected cost.

20 years ago, our government utterly failed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But we learned – Congress reformed FEMA and invested in disaster response. Now, Trump is taking us backwards – reversing these reforms and gutting FEMA. History will repeat itself if this continues.

Hurricane Katrina forced changes at FEMA. Trump is rolling them back

The government's colossal failure to respond after Hurricane Katrina led to major reforms at the nation's top disaster agency. Now, the Trump administration has reversed some of those changes.

Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. We’ve never seen profiteering at this scale – not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.

Opinion | The brazenness of Trump’s profiteering is a billion-dollar scandal

After leaving office in 2001, Bill Clinton signed a “record book deal” for $10 million. The amount of money Trump has made has no historical equivalent.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law killed ACA premium tax credits. Starting next year, premiums will increase by an average 75% – or more. We’re talking hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more per month. People can’t afford Trump's America.

She's bracing and saving to pay $2,800 a month for ACA health insurance next year

Raiding retirement savings. Pondering job changes or even marriage. People who buy their own health insurance are strategizing ahead of major price hikes in 2026. Open enrollment starts Nov. 1.

DOGE put hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by being careless with our Social Security data. While Trump gives giant tax breaks to billionaires, he’ll take away your health care, your food assistance – and he’ll even make it easier for your identity to be stolen.

DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says

If you thought Trump’s tariffs couldn’t get worse, think again. This Friday, costs for many shoppers and small businesses are about to go up – again.

A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It's a big deal to some shoppers and businesses

Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods.

Our troops shouldn’t be patrolling American cities. This is exactly what dictators do when they’re trying to control their citizens and suppress opposition.

Trump Orders Major Expansion of National Guard’s Role in Law Enforcement

It’s no wonder Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections, because the American people HATE his signature law. He knows he can’t win a fair fight.

Trump rebrands 'Big Beautiful Bill' amid poor polling

Trump said he’s no longer referring to the new law as the One Big Beautiful Bill. The law’s title isn’t helping with the sales pitch, Trump said.

Trump’s military takeover of DC isn’t about addressing crime or helping the city – it’s about seizing power and control.

Background: photo of humvee in front of the US capitol. White text on top: President Trump's militarization of DC is costing taxpayers at least $1 MILLION PER DAY (underlined in red). That's over 4x the cost of housing DC's entire homeless population. This is about power and control, not solutions.

This type of hateful language is unacceptable. It’s meant to intimidate, silence, and belittle Supervisor Montgomery Steppe and the Black community, but we won’t let it. Hate, racism, and bigotry have no place in San Diego.

I’m heartbroken for the families at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Back-to-school season should be something that families look forward to – instead of bringing the dread, fear, and trauma that comes with our country’s school shooting epidemic. This needs to end.

Live updates: At least 2 children killed and 17 people injured in shooting at Minneapolis Catholic school Mass | CNN

Two children have been killed in a shooting during Mass marking the first week of class for Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, officials say. Follow here for the latest news updates.

The Trump Administration has denied Kilmar Abrego Garcia his full rights to due process again and again, and now he could be disappeared to Uganda. No one deserves to have their rights violated. And right now, no one's rights are safe.

Abrego Garcia Detained Again After Administration Signaled It Would Re-Deport Him

I visited National University to tour their co-learning space for parents and their children. Having access to resources like affordable child care is so critical, especially for working and military parents pursuing higher education.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govAug 25(source)

My approach to policymaking has always focused on listening first. I was so grateful to meet with local leaders and parents this week to hear about their experiences accessing child care and ask how we can improve the system for everyone.

I met with Jenny Black, CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, to discuss the impacts of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill – which effectively defunded Planned Parenthood. Basic care for over 1 million people is under threat. I'm focused on finding ways to fight back.

It was so fun to join the MCRD library for storytime! Supporting military families and finding ways to improve quality of life is a big priority (and spending time with kids is always a highlight!).

Trump’s tariffs might sound abstract, but here are some specific things we’ll all pay more for thanks to increased import taxes on aluminum/steel: - baby strollers - utensils and cutlery - fire extinguishers

Hundreds of items just got a lot more expensive to import into the US because of Trump’s tariffs | CNN Business

Hundreds of different goods just got a lot more expensive to import into the United States, now that President Donald Trump’s 50% tariff on steel and aluminum has kicked in.
